We must become the change we want to see in the world. -- Mohandas Gandhi.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. -- Thomas Jefferson
I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.
-- Nikola Tesla

MySpace vs. FoxSpace?

EOTI really needs to get our MySpace-replacement put together as soon as possible. I wish we had enough money coming in to hire a small development team.

On the way to work today, I was listening to Thom Hartman. He was talking about how Rupert Murdoch / Newscorp / FoxNews / etc changed the terms and agreements on MySpace when they took over. Specifically, anything you post is their property, not yours.

He went into detail how, for example, if you post a risque image then go into a professional career, the small print says they can sell that risque image (even if you already deleted it) to the Press.

We need to get our own replacement social system online which never tries to take your ownership away.
